English to Kanglish

Kanglish is a blend of Kannada and English — it refers to Kannada words and sentences written in the Roman (English) alphabet, commonly used in text messages, WhatsApp chats, and social media among Kannada speakers. For example, "How are you?" in Kanglish is "Hego? / Hege idira?"

Whenever you enter words, sentences, or phrases in English and click on the “Translate” button, our software sends your text to an AI language model trained specifically for English to Kanglish translation.

The AI uses cutting-edge natural language processing technology to understand context, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances — producing natural-sounding translations in Kanglish.

All this process just takes a split second.

Kanglish has no official spelling standard. Different Kannada speakers spell the same word differently based on their regional dialect (Bengaluru vs Mysuru vs coastal Karnataka) and personal habit. For example, "channagi" (good/fine) might also be written as "chenna" or "channagi ide". Our AI translator picks the most widely understood phonetic form used in Bengaluru and Karnataka.
